At Dayton in 2015 my friend Greg and I nearly started a fire in our hotel room when we cranked the output on a Ten Tec Omni A-model, feeding into a mag loop (his idea, not mine...). I forget exactly where the loose wire was exactly, I just remember the cigaret-style burn we left on the carpet when it started arc-ing.
